The 80 Years' War (also known as the Dutch War of Independence) was
the foundation of Dutch nationhood, and during the course of the
conflict one of its main leaders - Maurice of Orange-Nassau -
created an army and a tactical system that became a model
throughout Europe. This study, the first of a two-part series,
focuses on the Dutch infantry. It examines how Maurice of
Orange-Nassau attracted volunteers and students from across Europe,
introduced innovative new training methods such as common drill
movements, and standardised the organisation and payment system of
the army to make it more than a match for the occupying Spanish.
His successes inspired officers and generals across the continent
to copy his methods, including many English officers who went on to
fight in the English Civil Wars. Featuring full-colour artwork and
rare period illustrations, this book examines how the Dutch
infantry was transformed into a fighting force able to defeat the
might of Imperial Spain.
